Once upon a time, not that long ago, I loved to run. I ran every. single. day. I looked forward to lacing up my shoes, strapping on a couple of sports bras and going. In some pants I could see the muscles of my legs flex and stretch with every step I took. I. Loved. […]
You guys! Owen is going into THIRD grade. I remember that being the hardest grade so far. I remember doing a science experiment in front of the whole class. I had to show the different phases of the moon with a baseball and a flashlight. Even then I was a nerd for the moon. It […]
Today, my newborn had her kindergarten celebration! I won’t say graduation because there was no pomp and cirumstance. No mortarboard with tassel. No gown. They sang songs, had a cute little program based on the alphabet, and did a dance to a mariachi song. Altogether an enjoyable morning. So while there was none of the […]
Do you celebrate your half birthday?? I never used to. Before I had two November babes I don’t even know if I knew when my half birthday was. (May 18, by the way.) once they were here the 6 month milestone, their half birthdays became a day of celebration. They were turning from the snuggly […]
I’m trying so hard to stop this consumer driven mentality. I want to be a responsible consumer. I want to buy quality over quantity. It’s honestly one of the reasons no-buy-may was developed, at least in part. It’s so easy to go to Target or Walmart and just buy something because it’s cute and trendy […]
I’m reading/listening to Rachel Hollis’ Girl Stop Apologizing. (side note-audible is seriously incredible. I listen to books after I drop my kids off and I feel so much more productive. There are definitely days where music is the deal of the day but I like listening to books a lot.) She is a force. An […]
Happy Mother’s Day to all my mama friends, and I do mean ALL my mama friends. (I’m talking to you cat mama, dog mama, lizard mama, any form of life mama.) It’s no secret that I’m a self proclaimed crazy plant lady. I name them all, and take great pride in the fact that Hank, […]
…and it’s inconclusive. But there are some things we can rule out. It’s NOT a hernia. It’s also NOT a seroma or hematoma 🎉🎉 So we know some things that it’s definitely not. I have a few things it might be. It could be diastasis recti. The stitch they used to fix me up during […]
So, despite my rambling, I still stress shopped. I added a bunch of things to my Amazon cart during that stint in the waiting room and while sitting at my counter stressing. Here’s what I want to buy right now to combat that stress. Some of these items are necessary and will be purchased, eventually. […]
I’m sitting in the waiting room for my ultrasound. There are a million thoughts running through my mind. A million possibilities for the point. I even dreamt I was pregnant. (Haha pretty hard to get pregnant when you don’t have Fallopian tubes, butttt the subconscious is weird AF.) I’m trying to avoid stress shopping because […]
